Example: I believe that IP is a direct contradiction of nature, sacrificing the advancement of humanity and the world for selfish gain, and therefore is sinful.

I agree with your attitude about IP. For tens of thousands of years humans freely imitated every good idea they saw, in a process known as “the spread of civilization”. But then somebody figured out how to make shitloads of money by producing copies of other people’s work and paying them a pittance, aka “royalty”, and suddenly copying and imitation became immoral.
Maybe look at the time since when inventions grew exponentially and you’ll see that it correlates with IP protection.
Every protected IP right may be an incentive for someone to circumvent it thereby generating new ideas/inventions.
There is no black and white. Some exploit the IP rights but this should be a reason for politics to amend the law so that the exploit is no longer possible. Hate the player, not the game.
Invention and cultural development had been growing exponentially for centuries before IP laws - it was called The Renaissance. The creation of IP laws to enrich publishers didn’t start that. Pretending it did is a common false talking point.
Funny enough the first documented IP right occurred 1474 in Venice, the beginning of the Renaissance.
However, it can be discussed whether there really was an exponential increase in inventions during that time.
Also, I did not say that IP rights started the development but that it correlates. Causation and correlation should not be mixed up. Whether IP rights caused the exponential growth or the exponential growth made it necessary to protect the ideas I don’t know.
